It is necessary to wear shorts to make the most of your Pole Dance class. Exposing skin on the legs (and arms) allows you to grip on to the pole, rather than slipping off! If you feel shy about wearing shorts you can wear tracksuit trousers at first!

• Comfortable shorts. Lycra style shorts are recommended.
• T-shirt or vest top, that can be tucked in when going upside down.
• Protective shoes or boots. Sports shoes or ‘dancer’ shoes depending on your preference.

• Bring your own hand towel. Although poles will be thoroughly cleaned before your class with disinfectant, you will find it useful to regularly dry your hands and dry the pole to prevent slipping.During warm up and cool down wear comfortable trousers that you can move freely in. Wear sports shoes (tekkies) or go barefoot for warm up/cool down.

What not to wear:

• No oils or lotions on the skin prior to Pole Dance class. This will make you slip off the pole!
• Think about your jewellery. Rings, watches, bracelets and earrings could get damaged or even damage you when you are on the pole! Please be prepared and leave your valuables at home.
